SEC tournament update: If Gators win, Vanderbilt or Mississippi St. awaits them

Day 1 of the SEC tournament is finished, and heavyweights are ready to begin their bid for the trophy in Atlanta. Those who earned first-round byes — Florida, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi State — make their Georgia Dome debuts today.
The Gators, the No. 1 overall seed, lead off with a 7:30 p.m. game against Tennessee (19-13). It is a scary match-up for Florida (24-6), which beat the Volunteers in overtime and on a last-minute Erving Walker lay-up.

The winner of the Florida-Tennessee game will play Saturday at 3:30 p.m. on ABC against either Vanderbilt or Mississippi State. Those two teams play today at 10 p.m.
